MINOR MENTION.

THOSE who sleep top of lions cage sh ould
keep their feer we'll in hand. We do not renlem-
Der ever to have seen this proverb in print. but
we print il now. A recent occurrence in Chi
cago illustrates Its thoughtfulness. An attacbe
of a circus crawled to the top Of the lions cage
at midnight and stretched himself out to sleep.
The lion slept with one eye open, and il
couple of hours his watch was rewarded. The
man turned over in his sleep and his foot dropped
the side of the cage. In an instant the
lion struck the foot vicious blow with his paw,
but before the animal could make a second blow
the man drew in his foot. Four of the lions
claws cut long and deep gashes in the foot. and
these bled profusely. The mans screams and
the roar of the lion awakened the circus people,
and the sufferer taken to the hospital. This
is why we remark that those who sleep on top of
a lions cage should keep their feet well in hand.

THE GREEN APPLE.

At last green apples have come. Long
looked for, long awaited, come at last We say
green apples notderisively, but simply by way
of distinction from dried apples, as we say
spring chickens in contradistinction to those
of former generation. But green apples
have come, and by no other name would they
smell or taste as sweet. Figuratively speak
ing, green apples taste sweet. no matter how
sour they are. No other fruit equals them or
can take their place. The early berries are
very good in their way and will do to nibble
and use as a relish, but they cannot be bitten
and munched like the early apple. There is
other fruit at once so comforting and sus-
tanning. And then think of the reminis-
cences connected with green apples! Memo
ries cluster round them thick as flowers. The
sight of them makes we'll organized mans
mouth water. The smell-ah, the smell
takes you back twenty. thirty or forty years,
as the case may be. Anyhow, it takes you
away back to the old orchard where you used
to club the tree that bore the earliest
fruit May be the orchard pertained TO
your family, may be to some other family. The
ownership of the orchard made difference
in the smell or flavor of the apples. 1t was
enough that you had access to the tree.
Perhaps the branches hung over the fence
into the road, perhaps you had to climb the
fence to get at them. No matter, in those
days you didn't begrudge the time. And
those apples, how sweet they tasted, what
bouquet and flavor they had, how soothin'
between boys stomach and green apples
that is not dreamt of in the philosophy of
later years. In those days you could drink
with your meals without suffering discomfort,
and if you washed down two or three dozen
green apples with two or three pints of cold
water from a neighboripg spring. it did
you no HARM They were spring apples.
And you felt no i'll effects next day, no
strange feelings in your head, no qualms or
protests in your stomach. If you had any
"reminiscences at all of the feast, or any emo
ton on the subject, it was simply a regret
that you had not eaten more. However, that
sould be remedied next time, and so you did
not yield to vain regrets. Some such remi-
niscences as these, or tie "reminiscences of
some such days, are called up by the permeat-
ing, aromatic, fruity smell of green apples.
That is the reason that everybody welcomes
them. 1t is not simply on account of sauce
or pies, though these, when made of green
apples, are not to be sighted; but it is because
green apples are something one bite of which
makes the whole world kin. Those which
have just made their appearance in our mar
ket have travelled a good way. They were
ripened somewhere away down South, but
they are United States apples, and that is
enough. They are not "foreign apples" Let
us bid them all hail and welcome.
